I go down to Cosford after quite a party with Jarvis the night before, and put up in the Mess there. I meet one F/L “Dicky” Dee who has been having treatment for burns for 13 months now, and we go to see a show, and I am very taken with one of the stars, a WAAF officer, one Hazel Palit. Also I have my appointment with the E.N.T. specialist the next day and leave after lunch. He gives me an X-ray and says there is nothing the matter except a change of climate, which I think is balls. A huge Mess at Cosford, and you telephone to the bar when you want a drink.

My posting not in yet, so I’m off to Poulton as C.G.I. tomorrow until it comes. Hope to get some flying and one or two other things two.
